Question: Dear masters, a new protest movement started in Iran against the death of a young woman in police custody in September. The role of young people, especially young women, is very prominent in this movement, and the slogan, “Women, Life, Freedom” is vastly used by demonstrators. Although the government has resorted to violent repression as usual, they have not been very successful so far. How do you evaluate the future of this movement and the potential of a revolutionary change in Iran?
Answer from the Ascended Master Saint Germain through Kim Michaels. This answer was given during the 2022 Ukraine Webinar.
We have commented on the situation in Iran briefly, but I will give more perspective here. It is clear that when you look at history, when you look at the fact that we are in the transition phase to the golden age, Iran has to change as a country. There is no question whatsoever that in the golden age Islam will not be dominating Iran, or any other country for that matter, as the Catholic church will not be dominating any country. The question is how can this change come about?
What you have in Iran and several other Arab countries is that the fallen beings have managed to use either fallen beings in embodiment, or people in the fallen consciousness, to create this very repressive regime. And their excuse for doing this has been Islam or rather a completely unbalanced and distorted interpretation of the original teachings of Islam. This has led to this very, very severe repression of society that has held back the development of society for decades. Iran today is decades behind where it would have been if this had not happened, if such a repressive regime had not been there.
What happens in such regimes is that tension must continue to rise until there is a breaking point. It is the same as you see in a steam engine where you close the valve, the safety valve that lets out steam. The pressure can only keep building in the system. The question is, where is there some weakness in the system where there is a blowout, so that the pressure can be relieved.
Despite the fact that I use the word weakness, I do not thereby mean to imply that the protesters are a weakness in the system. What I mean is that there will come a point where those who are actually more open to change will be the ones who say: “No more, we cannot accept this anymore, now we need to do something.” And the reason for this is of course that a repressive system must become increasingly repressive. Which means, it drives certain people into a situation where they feel like they have no life to look forward to.
Many young people in these repressive regimes face unemployment, an uncertain future. They cannot see how they can actually build a reasonable material life for themselves. Of course, in all Islamic countries, women are the ones that are the most suppressed. And that is why, as Mother Mary has said, this is the decade of women. There is a great potential that not only in Iran but in other Arab countries, or Islamic countries, that women can drive a change.
Women can drive, I am not talking about a violent revolution, but actually a peaceful revolution that will cause these societies to change. It is a very unfortunate situation, from my perspective as an ascended master, that people are driven to the point where they say: “Well, I am going to protest, even if I lose my life on this.” It is unfortunate for the people who can lose their lives, but it is even unfortunate for the country, that it loses the resource of these young people, who are often some of the brightest that could actually manifest a better future for the country. Of course, the fallen beings, or those in the fallen consciousness, can never see this because they do not see people as a resource, they see them as a threat.
There is certainly a potential that this can grow and become a movement that your authorities cannot hold back. They cannot suppress it, they cannot kill or enslave or imprison all of the people who are willing to protest. I would much prefer that such a transition could happen peacefully, but as we have said several times, when people become unbalanced, they must act out their imbalance to such an extreme that it finally becomes obvious that this is not sustainable. The question is simply, what will it take, how long will it take, what kind of violence will it take, before even those who are in charge of the country can see that this cannot continue.
There is a potential, in this decade, that women can take initiatives in Islamic countries to improve their situation and have greater freedom from this oppression that they are subjected to by these patriarchal societies. It is clearly an unbalanced state that is unsustainable and incompatible with the golden age. If these countries are to enter the golden age anytime soon, only women can drive the change, because men cannot. There are, of course, some men who can. But in general, the initiative cannot come from men, it will come from women. Unfortunately, then, the men who are in charge might use violence to try to suppress this and that is why there is a potential that this could become a very chaotic situation. But I hope, of course always, that reason will prevail, but we shall see. Certainly, those of you who are ascended master students, and feel responsible for this, can make the calls for it. But then again, there are many issues in the world to make the calls for, so I will leave it to your individual discernment to feel what is in your divine plan
